jossmilan7412 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 It works, i was playing it on my alt account and got 3 trophies in a few minutes. Just download the Trial Version and you'll get the full game with no timer or expiration date. Do it as soon as you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I've been playing it a couple hours today, everything is accessible, and we can go for the plat on this version. It must be a bug, othewise it's the best trial version ever released. And I wonder if Codemasters could reverse the thing since we all officially downloaded the trial version, as shown by receipts ... I don't think so because the full game is installed, but that'd be interesting to know how much leverage a developper has on this kind of upload mistakes.

djb5f Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I bet they release a patch that will block the full release content of this “trial”. Pinball Arcade accidentally released all tables for free and then patched it. Nonetheless, I am downloading now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAS2in1 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) Found this on twitter: Keen to try out #DIRT5 on PS4? Good news! DIRT 5 is available to play FOR FREE on PlayStation 4 right now, until April 5 ?️ Take it for a test drive this weekend ⤵️ https://t.co/d79t8iEFWh https://t.co/PmPaIgxjAm Edited April 1, 2021 by DAS2in1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aby90 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 What is the situation like now? can you still unlock trophies and platinum with the trial ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person above you says it's free to play on PS4 until April 5 according to Twitter, but looks like it's still deemed a trial but people are still earning trophies. You could probably platinum it in that time. Even if it is just a trial, it's not that weird to be able to unlock trophies. The Division's trial unlocked trophies. I think back on the PS3 all trials did iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aby90 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 thank you for the answer, so does that mean that until April 5th I can plat it without problems and blocks of any kind? if yes i'm really happy for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKIT_ZOFRENIX Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 From what I read on a website, it will be until the 5th or 7th of April, that is, see if until the 10th it will be available to play. My question: if it really is a test or trial; had the trophies won disappeared from the list or remained? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmegaRejectz Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 The PlayStation is actually so poorly made. I mean yeah, when you purchase things it probably does a gazillion different things, but I mean, it’s a billion dollar company so it’d be alarming if it didn’t. But so many things will just exclude information, for The Division, the Gold Edition literally doesn’t say it’s the gold eidtion, the only way you’d know is by looking at the image. And most people wouldn’t bother to look at it. There’s plenty of cases where it doesn’t say it’s a demo or says it a full game or something of that sort when that simply isn’t true.

ARIXANDRE Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 (edited) This happened to Yakuza 6 a couple years ago. Its weird that trophids would pop but also a genius ploy to get trophy hunters to buy the full thing + DLC.

Sorry, but I find this funny. We could platinum this Free Trial, in theory. The 1000 miles trophy would be the longest. I heard it was 10,000 miles at the beginning, what were the developers thinking? Maybe: "They will play our online mode FOREVER!!".

What's even funnier (annoying to me) is that I put him in a race and thought 'sweet, this will knock off a few miles towards the 1k miles trophy'. Literally 2 minutes later he is at the menu and has purchased the Energy DLC... At least on the bright side, it is DLC with trophies that is only $20 and not something that costs a lot more (imagine if he somehow bought/unlocked the 'full version'). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargate1995 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 So what is the rough estimate on time to platinum this? If we have until April 5th (https://twitter.com/dirtgame/status/1377607945232482309) then that gives 3-4 days from now. Personally I'm only going to be able to play for 2 of those, so would this be completable with that amount of time? The only trophy guide I could find for it was prior to changing "spare some change for gas" but lists it as 15-20 hours for everything but that. With the change is 20-25 hours a good estimate?

Sikutai Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 (edited) I have a tip for the 1000 Miles Trophy. Go to Playgrounds and search: 10K Trophy AFK 2 Tracks Don't forget to drive through the Finish Line if you want to end your AFK Farming Session, that is important.

This playground race is extremely usefull indeed ! The 1000 miles trophy is a hell of a grind and I advice anyone who'd like to get platinum before the 5th to start farming for it right now. From what I've seen here and there, when finishing the entire campaign, you'll end up with 600 miles, which leaves a lot of laps to do in Playground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyZero Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Not sure to understand how the limitation works (and I have no internet connection at home right now to test it) This seems to be the full version of the game, so how can Sony prevent you from playing after April the 5th ? is there a licence expiration on it, as on any PS+ games ?

I am not sure (someone else can probably answer better) but my guess is through a patch that checks if you own the license for the full blown game. If you turn off automatic updates and do not install the patch, then you could continue playing. Of course, you’d miss out on any online trophies after the patch goes live. Again, just speculating.

Sikutai Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 (edited) I have all Trophies now except the Trophy for 1000 Miles. This will be my first Platinum with a Demo/Free Trial. Thanks Codemasters. Edited April 2, 2021 by Sikutai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
